    Sabudana Khichdi Recipe is one of the most popular fasting recipes in India. Easy to make tasty Sago Khichdi is perfect for breakfast/ evening snacks as well.  Maharashtrian Style Sabudanyachi Khichadi recipe with lots of peanuts. A foolproof recipe with detailed tips and tricks to make soft, non-sticky, and delicious sabudana khichdi

    Sabudana Khichdi - Indian street food

    Sago khichdi is a popular item from north Indian tiffin varieties/popular street food. It is widely prepared in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Indore, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. The South Indian version of Javvarisi upma totally differs in preparation. The Sago khichdi I am sharing is inspired by Maharashtrian Sago khichdi. It can be prepared with minimal ingredients and super easy to make. Right from soaking Tapoico pearl this recipe I share covers the complete tips and tricks to get Non-Sticky Sabudanyachi Khichadi

    Vrat Sago Khichdi

    Tapioca Pearls is called  Javvarisi /Maravalli Kizhangu in Tamil, Kappa in Kerala, sabudana/ sago in Hindi. It is a vegan, gluten-free ingredient. High in carbs makes it a perfect fasting-friendly recipe. Combined with potatoes and groundnuts makes it filling and keeps you energized throughout the day

    Why should I wash the Tapico in a colander?

    For  Non-Sticky Sago Khichdi, it is very important to wash them well 3-4 times in colander as it helps to drain the starch water well. Always wash till the water turns clear as it helps for nonstick Sago khichdi.

    How long should I soak Javvarisi?

    I generally soak sabudana with the same amount of water. After the sabudana is well soaked I drain the excess water and prepare Khichdi. Depending on your sabudana water might slightly vary always make sure the water level is half-inch above the sabudana. Always soak tapioca for at least 6 hours. If you are planning Khichdi for breakfast, soak overnight for fluffy pearls.

    How do you know the sabudana has soaked well?

    Well-soaked Tapico pearl looks soft. If you press the sago pearl between your thumb and index finger, it should be soft and you could be able to press the pearl. 

    What if I forgot to soak sabudana?

    If you are running late soak Javvarisi in hot water till they turn soft. If the sago didn't turn soft and water turned cold. drain and add hot water one more time till they turn soft. Best nonsticky soft Sago khichdi requires a minimum of 6 hours of soaking in cold water but hot water soaking is a great alternative for last-minute planning.

    Can I skip microwaving the potatoes?

    Yes, you can roast potatoes directly on the pan but faster cooking and make it toddler friendly I generally prefer to cook potatoes fork tender first then prepare khichdi. Always make sure you drain the water well for nonstick khichdi.

    Should I coarse pulse roasted peanut?

    It is optional but it gives nice flavor and texture to the Sabudana Khichri. Never ground the peanuts as it might turn into a paste. Always pulse the roasted peanuts

    Can I skip coconut?

    Yes coconut is optional but it adds a nice flavor to the Sabudana khichdi

    What is the best combo for sabudana khichdi?

    Sago khichdi tastes yum even without any side dish. In our home we like pairing sabudana khichdi with boondi raita or masala raita.
